I have created a TypeScript(.ts) file. Which upon save generates a minified JavScript file

  • 0

I have created a TypeScript(.ts) file. Which upon save generates a minified JavScript file and a normal(readable) JavaScript file. All this works fine. But the comments I have added is TypeScript file is not visible in auto-generated JavaScript file. Since you cannot debug a TypeScript file (to add breakpoint, one need to use JavaScript file) and comments are not available in JavaScript file, I have to switch between .TS file and .JS file while debugging. Is there way to tell TypeScript, not to remove the comments user have added?

    If you have WebEssentials installed, you can set this in the WebEssentials Options:

    If you do not have WebEssentials installed, stop what you are doing and go install it first from NuGet. This is a great extension that will add all kinds of helpful features for web development.
